Toxic 4-Nonylphenol (4NP) has been found in endangered Orca whales in the Pacific Ocean. A recent research study conducted by the University of British Columbia’s Institute for Ocean and Fisheries, The British Columbia Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada was the first to find 4NP in Orca whales.

According to International Ozone Association statistics, over the past two decades there has been a significant shift to Sidestream Injection versus Fine Bubble Diffusion installations.

The recently announced UK Net Zero 2030 policy promotes the use of low-carbon, natural water treatment such as Ozone and UV disinfection technologies.

Worldwide there are nearly 785 million people that are experiencing limited access to clean, safe water. Despite the fact that many areas of the world have an abundance of rainfall and/or naturally occurring freshwater, water scarcity may still prevail if that water is not treated and rendered safe for consumption. Effective testing and eco-friendly water treatment solutions for rainwater and groundwater play a vital role in the global challenge to alleviate water scarcity . Ozone technology offers highly effective, sustainable solutions to address these complex water challenges.

There is the same amount of water on Earth as there was when the Earth was formed. The water we drink today could contain molecules that the dinosaurs drank! :)

According to the US Bureau of Reclamation, by September 2023, Lake Mead could be another 26 feet lower (just 19% of its full capacity) which would result in the Southwest’s most severe water restrictions.

The name ozone is derived from the Greek verb, ozein, which means “smell”. Ozone refers to its distinctive “clean” smell which is often described as similar to rainfall. Some people are able to detect an oncoming rainstorm by the smell of ozone which precedes it.

The ozone concentration in water is equivalent to 1mg/1 = 1 PPM = 1 g/m3 water (by weight). One part per million is equivalent to one blue ping pong ball in an 18’ x 18’ x 8’ room filled with white ping pong balls.

The United Nations World Water Day has been held every March 22, since 1993 to celebrate water and raise awareness of the 2.2 billion people living without access to safe water.

During his travels across the Atlantic Ocean, he became interested in oceanography which led to his discovery of the Gulf Stream.  In addition to his interest in ocean currents, Franklin was passionate about clean water and the public right to access it.  In 1739, he petitioned the Philadelphia government to prohibit the tannery industry from dumping waste into the Delaware River.

1. When lightning strikes oxygen in the air it creates ozone

2. When UV light from the sun (ie.185 nanometers) passes through oxygen in the air

Both methods break up oxygen molecules to form ozone. A single lightning bolt can create more than 300 pounds of ozone. Aclarus produces ozone using the same methods as nature does naturally.

Many of the world’s fresh water fishing species such as trout, salmon, perch and walleye live in deep lake waters. As the oxygen supply is depleted, deep water fish are being replaced with species that can survive in low oxygen levels. Invasive species such as white suckers and common carp have been increasing in significant numbers as a result.

In fact, the first patent for an ozone generator was by Nikola Tesla in 1896, specifically US Patent 568,177 - Apparatus For Producing Ozone. Tesla’s patent was originally created for air purification, however over time it was discovered to be an extremely effective and powerful water disinfectant.

With the legalization of cannabis across Canada, municipal water treatment facilities are concerned about their ability to remove the active ingredients in cannabis. They need to remove them from drinking water as well as prevent them from entering surrounding waterways in the effluent water.

Microplastics are considered a major environmental threat so much so that scientists are defining this new historical epoch as “The Plasticene”. Although only 5.0 mm or less in size, these particles contain toxic and dangerous chemical substances that are inherent in all plastic products.

Manganese is a grey metallic element that is about as abundant in the earth's crust as carbon. It's one of only three elements that is both essential to life and also toxic at high levels. It is required by several enzymes for physiological processes such as bone formation and metabolism.

The CDC reported that from 2001 to 2010, Cryptosporidium (Crypto) was the leading cause of US waterborne disease outbreaks associated with recreational water. Recreational water includes swimming pools, waterparks, splash pads, drinking fountains, lakes and rivers.
